Firefox requires that extension files be signed by Mozilla if you want to install a .xpi file from a website. They don't have to be given a spotlight, but this effectively makes it impossible for anyone who doesn't know how to manually compile and install the extension to even use it.
- Karunamon 7y agoNo compilation necessary. You just download the addon source, flip on the "debug plugins" option, and point it at the manifest file. Still a pain in the ass.
- yoasif_ 7y agoMozilla continues to offer Dissenter the ability to sign their add-on and distribute it themselves. Look at the takedown notice, where they recommend this approach.
